2 things about this thread:
1. How hard do people think it is to pull the trigger on a handgun? Pretty damn easy actually, especially if the gun is used for target shooting. Also some guns have a "hair trigger" setting where you pull the trigger back halfway and it locks into a position where only a tiny bit of force can cause it to go off. Nervous step dad could have set it to that while searching for the lurking bad guy and then left it there, and then headed to nappy time.
2. As to the safety switch on the gun, certain pistols (some Glocks for example) don't have a switch, just a funky trigger that requires you to cover the whole trigger with your finger to fire.
